Blank ceiling silently staring down
at me
Lying motionless
lethargic
apathetic
static
It’s all white noise
Empty and colorless
What reason is there to continue?
No one gets the dreams they pursue
No one loves the people they do
No one enjoys the path they choose Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #31 – Shell”
I don’t know how to ask
For the help I desperately
need
To help me move past
the past me. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #26 – Now.”
So I’m trying a different style for this Tennessee playlist. Consider The Civil Wars as a trailer for the rest of the CD, where all the other songs play out the story from song 2 to 14. Notes written below each video are just for amusement.
The Civil Wars
Quick Notes: Originated in Nashville, tragically disbanded in 2014. TRAGICALLY. Hopefully one day they’ll get back together and go for that fifth Grammy… Continue reading “15 on the 15th – In my Tennessee mountain home, crickets sing in the fields near by”
I want you to know
I never gave you my heart.
It chose a path I can’t follow
The idea too hard to swallow.
And it’s not something I wanted
To have you hate me if I’m honest.
So now I suffer in the silence of lies by omission
Forsaken to friendship and avoidance
Of a simple sort of truth. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #25 – Mind/Heart, Brain/Feet, Accept/Defeat”
“And just what is a laugh? While it is as mysterious as music, I see laughter as a cosmic hiccup that allows us to stare into the abyss while we straddle the grave.”
Mauldin, yet uplifting? Maybe. Continue reading “Saturday of Book Quoting – Lewis Black’s Me Of Little Faith”
I resisted this self interested decision,
To sever long frayed family ties.
But continuous comments and curses
Caused this crucial division
‘Cause you crossed the line,
One thousand times too many. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #24 – One More Year”
I’ve been pretty MIA for awhile now. Overburdened with promises I made without really considering how much they would personally tax me. One of those, really the one with the most to gain/lose, was my agreement to officiate a good friend’s wedding ceremony.
It transpired this past weekend. It went…. far better than I could have hoped, to be honest. My heavy reliance on my ‘inner wolf’, as I jokingly call my tenuous confidence, pulled me through a situation that terrified me. Continue reading “Officially an Officiant: Thoughts Post Performing a Wedding”
Lady Luck, fickle and cruel, Who will sleep with any fool, But only for a short time. Choosing lovers with divine randomness, In her arms, there's bliss; Fortune given with every kiss, But not for long. 'Til the next is chosen, And you're dismissed. Lady Luck, you uncaring whore, Who will you next bless, With your attention and caress? How can I earn more? How can I earn less? I'm always waiting for, My turn to be selected, by fate. So Lady Luck, please. Leave me be. I'd rather court The hardworking sort. One to inspire and motivate, Not one to make me wait, and wait, For something that may never come.

…I definitely don’t dig WP’s new ‘editor’. It is not improved. Why must they keep changing things…

It’s disruptive; the constant eruptions
Of quaking earth and rising flame.
Shaking me from where I once
Stood my ground,
Destroying all the worthy around. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #208 – Volcanoes And Oceans”
